About This Activity

ACTIVE.COM REGISTRATION WEBSITE: ALL Ticket sales will be purchased online. NO CASH this year. The website is set up to cut off sales on October 25th IOT allow time for seating assignments to be manipulated for those who waited for the last minute to purchase tickets.

ARE YOU AN ACTIVE MEMBER OF CLR - 45: If you are not a member of CLR-45 or the guest of CLR-45 Marine or Sailor, you are required to register as a Non-affiliated guest and pay the Non-affiliated ticket price.

MARINES MUST PURCHASE TICKETS FOR THEIR GUESTS: In order to ensure that Marine's Guests are seated with them, we require all registration to be made by the Marine. This will keep the Marine's name assigned to the guests and will help us take better care of those in attendance. Random "John Doe" registrations make it difficult to know who is with who and will lead to OVER BOOKING of the event.

GUEST LIMITATIONS: Please limit guest totals to no more than (1) guest per Marine as space will be limited to 400 total people. Case-by-Case basis will be addressed through GySgt James as he is responsible for ticket sales and seating arrangements. These cases will not be addressed until after October 25th. This is to ensure that all Marines are provided an opportunity to purchase a seat in the Ballroom.

YOUR GUESTS ATTIRE: Ensure that your spouse and/or guests are dressed appropriately - Evening gowns and dresses that are "CONSERVATIVE" and not revealing are appropriate - Miniskirts or leopard printed halter tops are examples of inappropriate attire - Suite and tie or sports jackets with dress shoes and slacks are examples of appropriate attire for males.
